View Full Version : HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO
hi everyone, im finally a member as Ed has given me 5mins on the computer. Am looking forward to being a member at last!!!
Anyone going to the bcuk meetup can teach me how to carve a spoon and/or bowl, coz i think it would be cool to have my OWN utensils :-P
Cheers

Welcome Karen,
Make yourself at home.
As for spoon carving, find a nice bit of silver birch, bigger than you think you need, split it down the middle and have a go. It's not as hard as you might think, just keep the knife good & sharp and carve safely.
Enjoy,
Dave

Thank you for the welcome and advice, but unfortunatly I have tried to do it myself, and have read numerous books, but somehow i still cant get it right. I have never seen anybody doing it and think that if i can see it being done, i could then see where im going wrong. It would at least be a great help.
Cheers
Karen :-)
don't worry, your not allone. Mine attempts of making spoons, somehow didn;t work out. I can't get the right shape and after aditional cutting the spoon just get smaller and smaller, till not much is left....

Karen,
I've just done the fundamental bushcraft course with Woodlore, where of course we had to carve a spoon. The best tip I picked up was to mark out the shape your trying to get on the wood with a nice soft pencil. That way you can look it over before cutting.

Welcome Karen! Great to see you here!
Hi Karen,

Thank you for the very warm welcome. Everyone seems so friendly & i've already met a handfull of people through Ed, who is my other half. I suppose with Ed being interested in bushcraft for so long it sort of rubbed off. will be going to the bcuk Meetup so am hoping to meet with loads more interesting and like minded people.
Cheers
Karen :-D
Heya Karen, good to see you here, heard a bit about you at Mythyr Mawr. If you want to make spoon carving really easy buy yourself a crook/hook knife from Axminster tools (around £10).

Well, my birthday is coming up so thats a good cheap pressie from someone :-D
I hope that what you heard at Merthyr Mawr about myself is all good, i have also heard a little about you. Its always good to make new and interesting friends.
Cheers
